Le Tour

Post by tuffers#1 »

Best day of the tour for years.
No team sky ( ineos ) domination ,
No we are cleaner than clean
(err pass me an inhaler dave braithwaite )

Nice to see other possible inhaler users or
even extra strong paracrtamol popping bike
riders have a shout.
Long may it continue .

P.S i wish G rode for a different team .

No chance any of them.

What a pity Jiffy Bag Wiggins and Case Quietly Dropped Froome aren’t riding too.

Very few if any are riding clean but for me it is still one of the best sporting events of the year. Drugs or no drugs these guys are incredible endurance athletes. It is one of the most open tours for years and the French have finally invested in the best chemists and doctors that money can buy!

Absolutely making it a must switch-off snooze fest.

If I want to see chemicals at work I would go to work at Boots.

You don’t have to win any stage to wear a jersey during or at the end of a race. The effort he’s putting in and is fresh as a daisy when he gets off the bike. He’s either throwing all his eggs into 1 basket now and he’ll burn out over the next week or he’ll carry this Landis-esq form into the rest of the tour.

Same team different sponsor .

Still the bald one will more likely be involved in French club football next year , so expect to hear accusations of rounder balls shorter grass & smaller goal posts for opposition in the next few seasons .

Alaphilippe didn’t even try and win today because he knew it would look too obvious. He was barely blowing. This from a man who could never climb mountains before. The sport is a joke. But still bloody addictive.

Good to see an English sportsman competing under the Irish tricolour, instead of the other way round.

Are you going to show yourself in another thread about a sport you know nothing about? And then claim you’re on a wind up? Seems like it’s going that way.

Mountains. Plural. It’s why he was 50-1 at the start of the Tour. But you knew that already.

Cycling has always had a problem and probably right now is the cleanest its been in 50 years. That's still not to say its clean - but is any sport clean? Football at the highest levels dances very close to the line, to say the least...

As for being a climber, didn't Alaphillipe win last years KOM on the TDF? I think he's in for a very good shout for the GC this year and it will be good for the sport should he win. Let's hope he's doing it cleanly.
